Kaizers Orchestra: Ompa til du dør (Live @ Vega) Reaction!

[@katastrofekatrine]

Kaizers Orchestra has the most intense and passionate fan base. This was recorded in Store Vega, Copenhagen, Denmark (my country) and Danish fans are obsessed with them. Norwegian is fairly easy for Danes to understand. When Janove speaks at the end, he's just speaking Norwegian to Danes. 😁 I've seen them 4 times before they split up and they've just reunited. I'm going to their already sold out concert in KB Hallen ind Copenhagen next year. 😍

[@tsviper]

the consert in KB hallen was great, loved it.

[@trygvelie573]

The best live band in history. Kaizers are magic.

[@outernothingness1177]

Tom Waits called them "thinking man's circus music". I think that's pretty much on point, as far as genres go.

[@L.A.Tex_Norway]

Definitely being influenced very much by Tom Waits

[@user-we7vk5zg7l]

@@L.A.Tex_Norway Aldri tenkt på det før, jeg er veldig glad i TW, og i Kaizers. Skjønner ikke hvorfor jeg ikke så dette før nå. :)

Kaizers is an incredible live band. Janove (the singer) is incredibly charismatic and connects so fast with any audience, and it makes for some unique and engaging concerts. My all time favorite concert experience is with Kaizers and "Min kvite russer" with Janove basically directing the audience to sing the whole song.

[@omega1231]

I love the part where he's speaking Norwegian in the intermezzo, he said "My son was born on a monday, so that is my favorite monday. My daughter was born on a friday *Smiles and points* This is my favorite thursday" so fucking random, it's hilarious.

[@mathildejensen3285]

This concert was shot in the legendary music venue Vega where I saw their Farewell Concert in 2013. Most danes understands norwegian, even though Janove's dialect is difficult to understand. But he says - this is the best thursday in my life. My son was born on a monday, so that is my favorite monday and my daughter was born on a friday so that's my favorite friday. I see all of you as my children - so who's your daddy? ❤❤

[@stigandrmyrardalur5208]

One of the most weird moments in my life was standing in Germany and hear a german crowd sing loud in a rather local norwegian dialect 😳😳😳😳😳😳

[@christiansyversen198]

I've seen Kaizers live five times. The first concert was in a really small venue (Rytmeposten on Odense, Denmark) with at small stage and low ceiling. The place was litterally packed and at a point in the concert the humidity in the room condensated on the ceiling and it started dripping. It was litteraly raining inside...!!! It was WILD...!!! I miss them like crazy. One year they were voted the best live act in Denmark, beating bands like Metallica and Radiohead. SAVE ME KAIZER...!!!

[@RQLexi]

I hope you got tickets for the reunion tour when they went up for sale today! :D Here's to more Kaizers next year ^^

[@56kof]

Fans from Danemark, Germany and Netherlands are singing along in Norwegian - The inspirations is mixed, and one Norwegian journalist called it "Balkan punk" for its Eastern European inspirations . Please do this one next :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYeoeJimfMSBg8k&start_radio=1 "kontroll på kontinentet" - "control on the continent" - as always - kind of ironical stuff. The live performance is insane - and the die hard fans in Vega Copenhagen loves the band introduction.

[@Yochemm]

I did saw them in 013 (Tilburg, The Netherlands)!! That show was 1 of the best concerts ever for me and I didn't know them before that concert. It was a very positive surprise!!

They broke up 10 years ago but are back together as we speak. Huge comeback tour next year. Check out their song "Maestro".

[@Affeloui]

Band is norwegian. They are heavely influenced by 'Balkan Music' - That's the genre.. with Rock and folk and so on.. The line is: "You're gonna dance 'Ompa' until you die!" :D

[@user-we7vk5zg7l]

"Tango til they're sore". ;)

[@brainrotplague]

Oh damn, this was unexpected. Cool to see reactions to this band

[@annestrand6933]

Kaizers O is what is called Alternative Rock here in Norway. I moved right north of where Kaizers Orchestra come from, many years before band was formed, maybe before they were born, and I did not understand what they were singing... My daughter played Kaizers a lot and I was just lost - finally I asked what language they were singing in 😳🤣 Try out the song "Maestro" A wee bit more mainstream .

[@MariusKvia]

welcome to jæren👍

[@egiljohnsen6145]

Undoubtedly the best live band that Norway has had. Was at a concert with them before they left. The band is from Stavanger, the same city where Aurora was born. They sing in dialect, so it is not so easy, even for many Norwegians, to get all the lyrics

[@throughthewindowpane]

They are very entertaining live, but for me Madrugada is an even better Norwegian live band...

[@thanossnap4170]

Right? As a West Norwegian, this is as close to godlike we can come

[@DanielOn288]

@@thanossnap4170 it is super hard man, i listen to them the first time like 5 or 6 years ago and i never had never tried to know what they say in their lyrics until a couple of years before, im from mexico, and let me tell you, if you want to know the whole story in their songs you literally have to go to google translate and make the puzzle by yourself since there is no site or at least i didn't find it that tells you the story. My fav band btw

[@DanielOn288]

@@thanossnap4170 Thanks man I appreciate it, I have a lot of questions actually xD but those are about what their songs are about, cause it is not fun just putting the lyrics in the google translator, I have done it a couple of times but it not the same as having a video or the translation popping as the songs goes like they are doing with spotify. But I think my go to question is about Volvi i Mexico xD since I am from Mexico it really caught my attention, the problem is, google translator doesn't translate Volvo, so i dont really know what it means

[@knoxpuffer]

Hah. Love me some Kaizers Orchestra! I always used to describe their music as gypsy / circus rock. Definitely check out the song "Kontroll på Kontinentet" or "170" from the same concert @ Vega.

[@L.A.Tex_Norway]

Spot on - gypsy and circus with a huge dab of Tom Waits

[@erik-nm5cf]

Kaizers Orchestra is perhaps one of the most special bands the latest 20 years. When they started ab. 2000, they declared that the world did not need another rock band doing the same as all other rock bands. So they created their own unique style. They had a huge fan base in Scandinavia singing on their own Norwegian dialect and not in English. That's probably why they never got the world wide fame many mean they deserved. In 2013 they took a break to do other things in life. Rumours said they were to give concerts again by now, but the pandemic... They are perhaps best at performing live with complete command of the audience, and the videos from this concert in Copenhagen 2006 show clearly the magic of their concerts. A few songs to start with could be kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn66aH6ni5tmj5I (Bøn frå helvete - Prayer from Hell) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g366opJ7j8iAjrc (Ompa til du dør - Dance "ohm-pah" till you die) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6DTmH2shLZkrJo (Resistansen - The Resistance movement (in the cellar)) kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5zbap6gi5qrjtk (170 - About Mr. 170, the soldier who left his family, went to war .. and lost) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2bdZ6usnbSresk (Dieter Meyers inst, - Put me in the DM institute!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKvShKuap811ja8 (Bak et Halleluja - Behind a Hallelujah) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4a7g3Suhqh3rbs (Sigøynerblod - Gypsy blood (in your veins))

[@vinjarholennordvik3667]

Her is a translation of the lyrics. Its a bit weird but these guys are singing in both a way and dialect that I, a Oslogutt(A guy from Oslo), can barely understand myself. Sven Korner was in the newspaper on Monday Big picture from a time he danced waltz Yes, he killed Victoria Come home and explain to Christiania "Come here, Constable Here's a thousand bucks I've saved So give me Korner and give me him soon " Sven Korner was in the newspaper on Monday I've heard he bought a Pekingese He was interested in so many things Yes, everything from Hell to Tensing But you made it easy for us We take the last bite, for Sven We have your fingerprint I know what's waiting for you I know what's waiting for you I know what you're going to hope for I know what's waiting for you You have a pipe you think everyone will follow But I do not follow the pipe if it narrows We play poker with a revolver, have no respect for Fredrik Meltzer Now you will dance to our pipe until you bleed Yes, you must dance ompa until you ..`re gonna dance ompa until you die But think Sven, how good it will be in Heaven I hope you fold your hands before going to bed Because it can get hot down there It can get hot down there Sven! It can get damn hot down there (realy f¤!#?g hott would be a better translation but it dossent fit as well) You go down whether you want to or not It's me homs going to show you the way If you think you can run away So believe again for God is my father I know what's waiting for you I know what's waiting for you I know what you're going to hope for I know what's waiting for you You have a pipe you think everyone will follow But I wont follow the pipe if it narrows We play poker with a revolver, have no respect for Fredrik Meltzer Now you will dance to our pipe until you bleed Yes, you`re gonna dance ompa until you .. gonna dance ompa until you die Think Sven, how good it will be in Heaven Think Sven, how good it will be in Heaven Think Sven, how good it will be in Heaven Think Sven, how good it will be in Heaven You have a pipe you think everyone will follow But I do not follow the pipe if it narrows We play poker with a revolver, have no respect for Fredrik Meltzer Now yo`re gona dance to our pipe until you bleed Yes, yo`re gonna dance ompa until you ..`re gonna dance ompa until you die

I live 3 min. from a place named after these guys. "kaizersplassen" phenomenal band to say the least. i love their sad songs: "170" and "bris" "Resistansen", "bak et halleluja" are also fantastic. highly recommend looking up their lyrics, tales of betrayal, murder, dopplegangers, imprisonment, Russian roulette and more awaits.

[@christiansyversen198]

Best version I have heard of Bris. Also one of my favorites. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioKlknyanZqUjKs

[@lolshark33]

If u like these guys, I highly recommend u check out Janove and Skambankt! Janove is the lead singer from Kaizers Orchestra. I recommend the song, "Verden Går Til Helvete, Tralala," as a great jumping off point. Skambankt!'s lead singer is Terje Winterstø Røthing, who's one of the guitarists from Kaizers Orchestra. The first song of theirs I remember loving right away is "Malin"

[@user-we7vk5zg7l]

I'm Norwegian and I know Kaizers well. But there is one thing I never tough about, because I love Tom waits too...never compared them. It was never in my mind, but there are is a lot of things here that reminds me of some of the TW stuff. :)

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

He he! Surprise 👏👏♥️Kaisers was brilliant 🙏with the talented Janove who’s gone single. But you can continue with the song he introduced “ Maestro “.

[@throughthewindowpane]

I would call it humpa-rock. I think the 'ompa' in the title is Norwegian for humpa. They remind me a little bit of the Dutch band De Kift

[@amundkrogh746]

Don´t worry if you dont understand the words. I think the voice is meant to be just like another "instrument" in the sound. Here are a couple of good ones: This first one really shows the lead singers ability to command the crowd, Kontroll på Kontinentet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYeoeJimfMSBg8k Or what about a sort of ballad, about the Police, "Die Polizei: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ-zn6SNoNKXrLs.

[@Ozzianman]

Mafia, a mental asylum with its own eccentric doctor whom also has a song about himself, even a resistance movement. Then there are also the smaller individual stories and the Violeta trilogy. Tom Waits is easily their main influence. Otherwise they pull a lot of genre influences from Rock, Polka etc... They kinda just do whatever they want. All of the lyrics sound like they could belong to a musical, and there actually is a musical based on Kaizer. Kaizer is not my favorite band because I happen to be a local. They are my favorite because they keep on throwing some really decent curveballs. Their style is ever changing and because no album is alike, they feel just as fresh.

[@olejrgensen127]

The genre is or must be Polka Punk

[@HaienTwitch]

Norwegian audiences are usually super not engaged and just standing there nodding their heads a bit. Maybe singing one or two lines or the refrain from a song. Unless maybe your a band like Kvelertak. I am Norwegian and I hate that concert culture. I like to mosh and to be there in the moment whenever I watch a band live. This band used to make the crowd go WILD. People sang all the lyrics back at the band. They would jump around and go crazy. I LOVED that. I have seen them maybe 6 times and the only concert that was a let down was at Roskilde Festivalen in Danmark because it was a early show and people did not just get the vibe at all. The band is going to make a comeback now after a 10 year hiatus with new music, and their first live show is supposed to be in September 2023. I am so excited to see and hear what the band is going to sound like now.
